FOOTBALL PICTURE

STARS OF BASEBALL FIELD IN "SPIRIT OF NOTRE DAME."

Whether you are a football fan or not, you will get a real thrill from seeing "The Spirit of Notre Dame," which opens an engagement at th'e Grand Theatre on Thursday, October 20." The picture stars Lew Ayres, as a country boy just entering Notre Dame University, and later,- in his junior year, hecomes the ball-carry- . ing hero of the team, definitely h'eaded for All-American selection in the following season. But there arises a situation which interferes with these plans, and eventually brings the young football star to a point where he forgets the spirit animating the team, and becomes an outcast in the eyes of his fellow players. This portion of the picture is fraught with drama, and the boyish Lew makes the most of eyery scene. The entire production is filled with the spirit of football, and the sportsmanship that. builds championship teams, and the cast comprises some of the greatest players in the history developed by the late coach, Knute Rockne at Notre Dame. These inelude Frank Carideo, twice AllAmerican quarter-back, "The Four Horsemen," Moon Mullins, John Law, ' j-xdam Walsh, A1 Howard, Bucky . O'Cpnnor, Art McManmon and many j other noted players. Arjd these boys ' reveal themselves as capable actors, ' , as well as footplayers of the first ' degree. When th'e team finds itself | in the midst of its final game of the ' season, with Army, the interest has ' reached a pitch of highest excitement.
